> Romansh:How do you make choices David? Independently of your brain chemistry?-My brain is a chemical computer, but more than the computer in front of me or you. I control it almost as much as you or I control our electronic computers. I say almost as much because my brain will adapt to my use to grow thicker grey matter and more connections to accommodate my use of my brain. My brain is self-programming, if you will, as to more hardware and gigabytes of functionality responding to my use. My brain use is not independent of the brain chemistry, but also not controlled by it.
